This will be one about hope, though maybe not "hope" as it is usually meant. Hope is a defiant act taken against those who would sabotage any act of reparation—and sabotaging repair is exactly what fascism does. For this reason, hope is what is needed right now. www.the-reframe.com/a-fools-hope/
A Fool's Hopewww.the-reframe.com How to be hopeful people in this age of deliberate ignorance, empty optimism, lazy cynicism, and manufactured despair. A more useful definition of hope than these false ones we're offered.

I think the thing that is helping me from completely being despondent right now is the fact that SCOTUS released all these shitty opinions a few months ahead of the election and I don't think they will completely fall out of people's memories by election day.

I've spent too much time researching genocides this is chilling to me.

Hi @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, could I ask you please for a signal boost for a debut trans author? This is my first novella, out today, with a trans main character and alarums and adventures. Available on Amazon, Kobo, at all good bookshops and just in time for Worldcon

My latest with Assigned Media, featuring EXCLUSIVE coverage on planned pushback by the ACLU to remaining SB 254 provisions in Florida! You won't find this story anywhere else.
Today on Assigned: The ACLU plans to challenge Florida's prohibition on government funds being used for gender affirming care. This impacts people whose healthcare is funded by the state, such as government workers on state-funded healthcare plans. @miralazine.bsky.social has our full story:

Okay, so Minerva's liver tests came back extremely high. She needs an ultrasound and blood tests ASAP, which I don't currently have the funds for as I just paid for both cats' annual exams and for my cabin trip. I need $600 by Wednesday. paypal.me/diannaeanderson

I still have a few of these left, $35usd plus shipping, and if you get a bunch I'll cut you a better deal. DM me or email me if you're interested!
Alright, done and waxed. I have eight of these ready for sale. $35 for one or 3 for $100. Email me at my handle at Gmail if you are interested. They're about 6" long and 1¼" wide. I'll post the rest soon, if you'd like a specific one please let me know

Lately it's been like every time I turn around some new horror has crawled out from a random sewer, eaten a bunch of people, and then crawled away and all I see is the aftermath. I have no idea what's going on but I hope the lovely people who follow me are doing alright.

Increasing estradiol to 6mg/day and no change in the Spiro. Good follow up.

I didn't know about this but my main takeaway from a class on the Reformations was that Luther was just such a bitch. His responses were genuinely funny and often petty. He would be poster royalty today.
I just went down a rabbit hole re: Martin Luther crediting a spiritual awakening to eating his own shit and yeah, that’s a thing, but I’m mostly sharing bc this is a hilarious Friday blog theme
Fecal Fridays: Martin Luther on the Toiletqueenmobs.com Martin Luther was often constipated. While this is certainly not the most important fact about the father of the Reformation, it shouldn’t be excused...

Unlocked the exotic version Khvostov yesterday and I have to admit it was worth the damn scavenger hunt to get the pieces. Too many fun weapons in Destiny 2 right now and not enough time.

Chat, if you're a new parent in the community and in within reasonable driving distance of DC, I have a shit ton of baby/toddler clothes, toys and books(including a nice stroller) that I want to give away for free. Please share this w/anyone who might need it. Thanks!

Huge win in Florida. The restrictions on providing gender affirming care to trans youth and adults have been found unconstitutional and are now permanently enjoined. Huge win by Simone Chriss and Southern Legal Counsel.

You have. To use. Your voice. Trans people are a tiny minority of the population. Cis people have to fucking speak up and say "absolutely not". You have to stop letting these bigoted fucks believe that everyone thinks the way they do.
